JUPITER, Fla. — Cardinals super-utility player Brendan Donovan helped produce a power surge that included two home runs and five total extra-base hits in a 12-7 win over the New York Mets at Roger Dean Stadium on Monday afternoon.
Donovan, who started at third base, went 2 for 3 with a home run, three RBIs and two runs scored. He has homered in each of the Grapefruit League games he’s played in this spring. He also blasted a home run in Saturday’s spring training opener.
Caridnals first baseman Luken Baker also belted a home run after he entered the game and replaced Paul Goldschmidt at first base.
